statics...

Look within
the noise
the constant stream
penetrate by watching
silently
intensely
as the cacophony melts away

you can breath that last breath
 
you don't need anymore

that diploma you're holding onto

and the gaping whole between IT and her life

dot dot dot

three days, out of a routine
and it seems like it will never work again
that blank screen
agonizing
blinking
white
a story-less story
a myth
a trope
loveless as a Bloody Valentine

technology.

the woman worked at a bar in little tokyo

and she loved her phone so much

and one day, on a cold and rare rainy night in Los Angeles, she made love through her phone

but I think she's a bit immature
